Someone once asked me if my dream in life is to become rich. Odd as it may sound, I've never dreamed of being rich, just well-off, or stable enough to finance the things that I would like to have.
It's always been amazing for me how some people would have goals in life, whether it's to become rich, be the president of a country, be the next CEO in 10 years, be a family person etc. When I was younger, it never occurred to me that I had to be rich, or that I had to have a goal. (long term), I just lived life as it is. Day to day, long term would be planning at most one month ahead for the next project and that's because a deadline has already been given. Even so, I'd cram it in the last week.
What's the point? I believe I've written about this several times. Goals. But a few weeks ago, I've had conversations with 2 friends that seemed to have made impressions on me. And it's about getting someone you want.
Note: Someone NOT Something.
Now, getting things you want seem easy. You either brat someone to get it for you, or get it yourself. Some work harder to get it, but eventually, if you really want something, you will get it. After all, you have the means to do so.
Now, getting someONE is another thing. It quite reminds me of philosophy lectures in AdMU where we were taught over and over again about the "Other". Conquering the "other". I can't remember which class it was, nor could I remember which philosopher was it, but getting someone is like conquering the other. And much alike to conquering countries probably during the years of war, there will always be resistance.
And there are no factories either to mass produce that particular someone for you.
My two friends have said the same thing about this topic, "so far, I've always managed to get who I want..."
Wow, lucky streak.
But I guess that's just the game right?
Oh well, wonder if I'm up for such a challenge.
